There is the possibility that 24 may come back. There is the cloning process AND Orpheus' necromancy powers. Plus, I'm pretty sure he wasn't the henchman outside the monarchmobile when it blew up. Seriously. Does anyone remember that his seatbelt was jammed?

So... he wasn't the one standing outside the Monarchmobile... he was still stuck INSIDE it? And you're trying to establish that he's still alive?

The theories that 24 didn't really die make no sense at all. It's possible, like you said, that he could come back, but why would they set things up like they did if he weren't dead?

What I'm trying to say was how could he be outside the Monarchmobile if his seatbelt was jammed? That's the thing I don't get.

We can see that the henchman that got blown up stepped out of the Monarchmobile immediately beforehand. And in the interior car shots show that 24 is the only henchman in there while H.E.L.P.eR. was driving. He must've gotten the seatbelt un-jammed during the ride, simple as that. (Unless you come up with something convoluted like another henchman jumped into the car off-screen after it stopped, then stepped out after the car was on-screen.)

In any case, Jory's point is that if 24 *were* still stuck in the Monarchmobile as you're suggesting, that'd make it even more likely he's dead.

Let's take your advice that the seatbelt unjammed, and 24 ran away. Another henchman who looks like him (since most henchmen look like him with mask on) came up to the Monarchmobile, waved his hand to some other henchmen who survived the OSI agents, and then blew up along with HELPeR. Possibility concluded.

Or in the sense that Jory was right, 24 could be revived with cloning or necromancy. Cuz in VB, the impossible is the possible.

It makes fine logical sense that it may have been a different henchman, but from a storytelling/filmmaking standpoint, it's just a bit silly. 24's dead, with a tee-shirt to boot.

Not that I'm completely discounting future appearances through cloning/necromancy/venturesteining/force-ghost apparitions.

Don't forget the possibility of a brain in a robot body! His head survived, after all!

OK, I give. 24 is as good as dead. But Jackson didn't confirm his staying dead/possible revival.
Just quit refusing to believe that 24 won't come back to life!
